Brunello Cucinelli Size Guide: Italian to UK Sizes, Letters and Shoes

Brunello Cucinelli sizes its womenswear on the Italian scale, and the conversion to UK sizing is simple once you know the anchor point: an Italian 36 is a UK 4. Every step up the Italian scale is two numbers, and every step up the UK scale is two numbers as well, so the gap stays the same all the way up. Below is the full chart, how the letter sizes line up, and what to know about the shoes.

Which sizing does Brunello Cucinelli use?

Italian sizing for tailoring, trousers, skirts, dresses and most outerwear, and letter sizing (XXS to XXL and beyond) for much of the knitwear and jersey. Shoes are sold in European sizes. At Luxury Handbags we show every numbered piece on the UK ladder, from UK 4 to UK 18, so you can order in the size you already know without doing the sum yourself.

Brunello Cucinelli women’s size chart

This is the house’s own conversion, with the UK column added. To read it, find the size you wear in any one row and follow it across.

The quick rule: take the Italian size and subtract 32 to get the UK size. An Italian 40 is a UK 8, an Italian 44 is a UK 12.

Letter sizes and number sizes are the same scale

The house uses one scale for both. An S knit is cut for the same body as an Italian 40 jacket, so if you take a UK 8 in tailoring you will usually take an S in the knitwear. That makes it easy to build an outfit from one collection: a cardigan in M sits with trousers in an Italian 42.

Some styles run further in each direction than our UK ladder. The house cuts certain pieces in an Italian 34 and goes up to an Italian 54 on others. At Luxury Handbags we list the UK 4 to UK 18 range, with letter sizes from XXS.

Read the fit note on each piece

The number tells you the body the piece is cut for. The fit note tells you how much room it leaves. Brunello Cucinelli describes each style with a fit, and across the Fall Winter 2026 collection those fits vary widely: relaxed, regular, tailored, wide, straight, loose and cropped all appear. We carry that note onto every product page, in the product details.

• Relaxed, loose and wide fits are cut with room by design. Order your usual size and let the shape do the work.
• Regular and straight fits follow the body without hugging it. Your usual size is the right one.
• Tailored fits are closer through the shoulder and waist. If you are between sizes in a tailored jacket, the larger size gives you room to layer a knit underneath.
• Cropped fits refer to length, not width. They finish above the hip and are meant to sit over a higher waist.

Brunello Cucinelli shoe sizes

Shoes are sold in European sizes. The house makes its women’s shoes from 35 to 41, including half sizes, and at Luxury Handbags we list the whole sizes from EU 35 to EU 41. If you take a half size in other Italian shoes, check the fit note on the product page before you choose, because a runner and a pointed flat from the same house may not fit the same way.

Bags

Every Brunello Cucinelli bag is One Size. The product page gives the details of each style, from the BC Duo mini to the larger shoppers, so you can judge the size against what you carry every day.

How we size Brunello Cucinelli at Luxury Shoes

We convert every numbered piece from the Italian scale to the UK ladder using the house chart above, so the size you choose on Luxury Handbags is the UK equivalent of the house size. The label inside follows the house scale. If you want to compare with another Italian house, Fabiana Filippi uses the same Italian scale.

Frequently asked questions

Does Brunello Cucinelli run true to size?

The sizes follow the standard Italian scale, so a UK 10 is an Italian 42. How much room a piece leaves depends on its fit, which is why every product page carries the house fit note.

What is an Italian 42 in UK sizes?

A UK 10. Subtract 32 from the Italian size to get the UK size.

What size is M in Brunello Cucinelli?

An M is an Italian 42, which is a UK 10 and a US 6.

Are Brunello Cucinelli shoes true to European sizing?

They are sold in European sizes from 35 to 41. Read the fit note on each style, since the shape of the toe and the height of the heel change how a size feels.
